Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hello, yes ,these autoimmune diseases are awful. Ihave hep c and RA AND diabetes, They said the hep brought them out, and I havent been tested fur lupus yet although my daughter has it, shes 28. And she gets a terrible rash on her face, sometimes more than others, it comes and goes kinda like a flare-up. She went to a Dermatoligist and he gave her some kind of cream that I dont know the name of, Maybe you could try that.Hang in there and hoping you will keep up your spirit, thats so important. Good Luck and sorry I couldnt be of more help, Lela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Lupus has a characteristic red "butterfly" rash on the face. Not always there, but it comes and goes.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I have both lupus and RA. I am the only person of all siblings or extended family members with these disorders. The Rheumy has no explanation why. Whe they first found out I had lupus, it was from several lesions they did a biopsy on. My rheumy thinks I may have had this disorder since I was about 6-8 years old. My mother, before she passed away, told me about how I was always sick and caught every cold that came around me. Also, with lupus, the rash I have doesn't seem to go away completely. It stays on my neck chest, and shoulders. I do go once in a great while with it being very pale but still noticable. I HATE my health problems. --- In Rheumatoid Arthritis , " lem820 " <lem820@y...> wrote: > Do many of you with RA also suffer with Lupus?...Isn't Lupus the > disease that shows up with a reddish rash on the face???.. > > > Sheesh, boy I hate these auto immune diseases!!!!! > > > > Thanks > > > > RA 6yrs, mtx, plus pain pills when needed...
